The peak intensity of the CMBR occurs at a wavelength of 1.1 mm. (a) What is the energy in eV of a 1.1-ram photon? (b) There are approximately 109 photons for each massive particle in deep space. Calculate the energy of 10^ such photons, (c) If the average massive particle in space has a mass half that of a proton, what energy would be created by converting its mass to energy? (d) Does this imply that space is "matter dominated”? Explain briefly.
The Andromeda Galaxy is the closest large galaxy and is visible to the naked eye. Estimate its brightness relative to the Sun, assuming it has luminosity 1012 times that of the Sun and lies 0.613 Mpc away.
Our solar system orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Assuming a circular orbit 30,000 ly in radius and an orbital speed of 250 km/s, how many years does it take for one revolution? Note than this is approximate, assuming constant speed and circular orbit, but it is representative of the time for our system and local stars to make one revolution around the galaxy.
(a) Calculate the approximate age of the universe from the average value of the Hubble constant, H0=20km/s . Mly. To do this, calculate the time it would take to travel 0.307 Mpc at a constant expansion rate of 20 km/s. (b) If somehow acceleration occurs, would the actual age of the universe be greater or less than that found here? Explain.
Integrated Concepts A neighboring galaxy rotates on its axis so that stars on one side move toward us as fast as 200 km/s, while those on the other side move away as fast as 200 km/s. This causes the EM radiation we receive to be Doppler shifted by velocities over the entire range of 200 km/s. What range of wavelengths will we observe for the 656.0-nm line in the Balmer series of hydrogen emitted by stars in this galaxy. (This is called line broadening.)
Integrated Concepts A galaxy moving away from the earth has a speed of 0.0100c. What wavelength do we observe for an ni=7 to nf=2 transition for hydrogen in that galaxy?
If a galaxy is 153 Mpc away flora us, how fast do we expect it to be moving and in what direction?
The distance of a galaxy from our solar system is 10 Mpc. (a) What is the recessional velocity of the galaxy? (b) By what fraction is the starlight from this galaxy red shifted (that is, what is its z value)?
To get an idea of how empty deep spam is on the average, perform the following calculations: (a) Find the volume our Sun would occupy if it had an average density equal to the critical density of thought necessary to halt the expansion of the universe. (b) Find the radius of a sphere of this volume in light years. (c) What would this radius be if the density were that of luminous matter, which is approximately 5% that of the critical density? (d) Compare the radius found in part (c) with me 4-ly average separation of stars in the aims of the Milky Way.
Check Your Understanding What is the strangeness number of a muon?
Synchrotron radiation takes energy from an accelerator beam and is related to acceleration. Why would you expect the problem to be more severe for electron accelerators than proton accelerators?
